Upcoming Women’s U-14/U-16 camp and roster announced

Preparation for the CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship, set to be held this October in Jamaica, continues in Burnaby, BC where 27 promising U-14 to U-16 female athletes will gather for a two-week long camp 28 September to 6 October.

Once again for this camp Beverly Priestman opted to inject inspiration and leadership from Canada’s Women’s National Team inviting veteran defender Candace Chapman to act as Technical Assistant. Chapman, who appeared in 114 International “A” matches for Canada, was selected on the Canadian Soccer Association’s Centennial Celebration All-Time Canada XI women’s team in 2012 and part of the London Olympic Bronze Medallist team.

All 27 players were part of Priestman’s first camp as Canada’s Women’s Excel Program (U-14/U-17) Director this past August. They will look to secure a spot in the Canadian squad that will compete in the CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship in Jamaica this October, a FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifying event.
